AU# 297: Leading with Accountability: Brad Larkin’s Playbook for Integrator Success
This is Automation Unplugged and I’m Ron Callis. Our guest today is Brad Larkin, CEO and Co-Founder of Argenta. Brad graduated Summa Cum Laude from Utah State University with three bachelor's degrees in the field of business. He has owned many companies from a young age, but the technology field has always been his passion. Brad attributes Argenta’s rapid growth and success to the value the company places on hard work, integrity, and always focusing on long-term relationships with clients. Brad co-founded Argenta with Justin Rollins and Will Alley in 2013 after 4 Home Control went bankrupt and they facilitated an asset purchase. In the beginning, it was grassroots with just the three owners running the entire company from a working showroom. Today, Argenta has grown to 21 employees and generates an annual revenue of $7 million. In 2021, the company was honored as ProSource Power Member of the Year.
